<div class="node-body blog-body"><div></div>A friend on Facebook recently posted a Craig’s List ad. Someone wants a Lighting Designer and gear for an upcoming fashion show for free. There are so many things wrong with this, I barely know where to begin.</div>

<div class="node-body blog-body"><div></div>Last summer during a load-in I began wondering how many people actually owned a legal copy of Vectorworks and/or were abiding by the user agreement. After asking around and much circumlocution, it turned out the answer was almost nobody. Now, now. Don’t act so surprised. Chances are most of you probably don’t either. </div>

<div class="node-body blog-body"><div></div><p>Working in TV, I&rsquo;m a big, big fan of Arri lighting.&nbsp; The instruments produce great light and are well built.&nbsp; I use them whenever I can. &nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Arri continues that tradition with its new L-Series, a LED fresnel.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="node-body blog-body"><div></div><p>The Broadway Green Alliance, which officially launches January 22, 2014, is a great tool surely the industry soon won&rsquo;t be able to live without.&nbsp; Their goal is to, &ldquo;... educate, motivate, and inspire,&rdquo; designers and industry decision makers into making greener choices through the BGA Greener Lighting Guide, as well as other initiatives.&nbsp; This guide will have a host of lights that are environmentally more friendly and preferable to older, traditional sources. &nbsp;</p>

<div class="node-body blog-body"><div></div><p>LEX, my favorite power distribution solutions company, came out with the next iteration of the cable ramp, called the PowerRAMP, at LDI.&nbsp; This cool, blue beauty is quite a catch.&nbsp; You can lay a 5-wire run of #2 feeder in the center channel, which is cool by itself.&nbsp; However the most amazing thing is how easily it mates with other PoweRAMPs. &nbsp;(It mates with other brands, too.) &nbsp;We all know the Cable Ramp Hop, which then turns into the Cable Ramp Stomp. &nbsp;All that angry stomping cannot be good for the knees and ankles.</p></div>

Once again I will be a stranger in a strange land, a lighting designer sitting amongst projection people as I audit day two of the Projection Master Classes at LDI 2013. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p>
<strong>9:30am-11:00am Case Study &ndash; Michael Jackson&rsquo;s ONE Production:</strong></p>
<p>
The day begins with a sizzle reel of the show, Michael Jackson&rsquo;s One from Cirque Du Solei.&nbsp; I have inadvertently chosen a seat right where the projector exhaust fan is blowing.&nbsp; It sure feels nice and warm.&nbsp; A few thoughts on the session:</p></div>
